Any alternatives to P3Dv4 inflight recording?

[Skywolf 992]

Hi,

I was doing a video recording using the P3Dv4's own video recorder.  I need to see the flight landing, but as you all know with complex addons like PMDG 737, the panels do not get booted up in the recorded.  So all I can enjoy seeing is external model coming in for landing.  Is there a way to record with the full plane operational.  

Love the fact that I can change views inside the recording.  I just want to see all panels up and working.

Any solutions for this or everyone is in the same boat

Thanks

It seems to be a difficult thing to achieve these days. 

FlightControlReplay is the latest version of an external recorder program - and although Fabio has improved the program significantly since V1, there are still big gaps with regards to PMDG animations on playback.  I have also noticed the playback is quite stuttery.  At the moment, there is still no program that allows you to play back a PMDG take-off or landing sequence from an external view without an obvious animation flaw.

Chaseplane also implemented a very basic playback feature which is also of little use for PMDG animations unfortunately.  Keven did say at the launch that they had to work with PMDG to resolve some of the issues, but I'm not sure if that ever progressed.

I also don't know if there is any recorder capable of recording displays in PMDG 737 because it is very complex addon.

I am not sure but I remember FSrecorderX was able to record this in FSX but FSrecorder is not compatible with V4.

Never heard of it.  Sounds quite impressive.  So does it allow PMDG playback from external perspective with all animations accurately captured?

Upon reading Tacview, it doesn't seem to do on what I want to see.  See full flight with panels on (wiithin the simulator) over the scenery is what I want to see.  P3D recorder does it fine, just not for PMDG or complex addons.

So does it work like FSRecorder or is simply a flight analyzer?

I used Camtasia. It also records sound and you can add music.  Only drawback is the price.  It does have a free trial.

OBS Studio?

I use it frequently for my videos but haven't tried it yet with the PMDG 737.
This program is free.

A++ Great freeware.

I use OBS works perfectly. I have my hotkeys set to ctrl+alt+1 to record and ctrl+alt+0 to stop.

I also frequently do a replay after say landing and record that from diff viewpoints as well as recording full flights.

I have just downloaded the OBS Studio and followed the quickstart instructions. I run P3Dv4.5 under Winsows 10. I started the sim in the default scenario and in its own window, ran OBS and pressed start recording, left it for a minute and then stoped the recording. The screen was black all the time, however, there seemed to be sound recorded. How do I get the sim image into OBS?

You need to select your input source for P3D it has to be "game capture" and drill down and select specific window and then follow the prompts to point it to the P3D exe file. You can have many sources recorded as inputs just click the eye next to any source you want to turn off. The user help in OBS is good and the forums are huge. results with vary with you PC setup, I sim at 4K but I have OBS set to rescale teh recording to Full HD (1920x1080).

Thanks for the input. Right now I am worried as to the security of the pgm files. After installing I got a security warning that I had "TrojanGenericKD.42825397" in my system and I had to back everything to an earlier HD backup in order to get rid of it. I can't be sure that it came from OBS Studio, howerer, it is a possibility.
